ESPN also reports Rodriguez will likely be suspended through the 2014 season.
The 38-year-old Rodriguez has yet to suit up for the Bronx Bombers this season due to off-season hip surgery.
During his career with the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers and the Yankees, the 14-time All-Star has batted .300 with 647 home runs, 1950 RBIs and 1,898 runs in 2,524 regular season games. He’s fifth on the all-time home runs list, 13 behind former San Francisco Giants outfielder Willie Mays.
Rodriguez captured his only World Series Championship in 2009 as a member of the Yankees.
